Been waiting a while to get my hands on this one. After all the hype And comparisons I finally picked up a bottle as a gift from my lil sis for my birthday. Said to be a cross between the OG Asad which was similar to Sauvage Elixir and boss Absolu. So When I first got my nose on it I was sadly disappinted. As it turns out the Boss comparision is not my much loved Absolu, but the now discontinued Boss Absolutley, which I never had the chance to try. Asad Elixir is an Oriental Spicy/Woody fragrance, it's a bold warm scent that starts with a lively, spicy burst, transitions into a smoky-sweet and woody heart, and settles into a rich, deep, and resinous amber base. It is an excellent fragrance for the cooler months. With top notes of Grapefruit, Pink Pepper and Saffron, it opens up with a bright, sparkling, and spicy opening with a subtle warmth and a metallic/leathery touch from the saffron. The heart introduces a sophisticated, masculine core of dry wood/Cedarwood and rich tobacco, softened by a creamy, sensual vanilla. Base notes of Frankincense, Patchouli, Cashmeran and Dry Amber blend together to create a dry down that is deep and long lasting. Frankincense and dry amber create a smoky, resinous warmth, while patchouli adds an earthy depth. For me the elixir is less of a direct Dior clone and more as its own smoky, sweet, and woody creation. Performance here is super good, easily giving 8-10+ hours on the skin.It is also a strong projector, leaving a noticeable and magnetic scent trail. Its warm, spicy, and smoky nature is perfectly suited for cold weather.It's versatile enough for both everyday use in the colder months and evening/special occasions where you want to make a statement. Its bold profile makes it an excellent choice for a date night or formal event. if you enjoy intense, warm, smoky-sweet, and woody fragrances and are looking for a "beast mode" performer. Try before you buy if you are sensitive to heavy incense or spice notes.

Just got my RDZ Passion!! #107 of 300. It’s soo good, one spray and I’m in heaven. Can’t wait to give it a full wearing.
